As the year 2011 draws to a close, it is not out of place to describe the year as a remarkable one for Nigeria. The year was full of activities and Nigeria never ceased to appear on the headlines of the international media for one reason or the other ranging from the conduct of the 2011 elections to the numerous bomb blasts courtesy boko haram.

So in your opinion, what were the highs and lows for the year? How do you perceive the performance of our elected leaders? How has the economy progressed?

Let me open the floor by saying the 2011 elections have been the most exciting ever and probably the most commendable so far. I must also commend a few governors (to the best of my knowledge) for their good work namely: Adams Oshiomhole, Fashola, Chime, Amaechi and Rochas. I will also say a big SHAME to the worst governor ever: Uduaghan for his thuggery and backwardness. Thumbs down also go to the sponsors and sympathizers of Boko haram who have dragged us back and virtually cancelled out all the gains we could have made as a nation. I must also commend the FG for the efforts at righting the wrongs which have plagued us for decades. I am however not yet satisfied with a lot of things including the security and power problems we face today. I hope 2012 will be different.

What's your take?

So in your opinion, what were the highs and lows for the year?

None. Still the same old-same old shyte just stinking more than usual.
The return of Okonjo-Iweala to chop sommmore. . . .all time low. No highs.

How do you perceive the performance of our elected leaders?

Visiting Nigeria only affirmed the absence of 'leaders' one more time.

How has the economy progressed?

You mean regressed?

For me, the return of Okonjo - Iweala was one of the best things to happen this year. Anyway, it's different strokes for different folks.
